“A Wairarapa attraction in itself. We enjoyed just spending time in the cottage and its location”
+Loved the whole setup and the attention to detail. Warm welcome from our hosts and a roaring log fire on a cold night. Breakfast and baking was EXCELLENT! The cottage was very tastefully and practically appointed
−Not a dislike at all, but a suggestion only...the couch wasn't particularly comfortable if you wanted to watch TV for any length of time. It looks great and matches decor - but was tough on back and buttocks after an hour watching a movie. A small point and offered as a suggestion only. It DIDN'T mar our stay in any way...

“A hidden gem, you won't be disappointed”
+This place is a wee hidden gem. We live in a newer home so I was really excited to stay in a historic farm cottage for a few nights and experience this era with a modern twist. It totally delivered, I was blown away, it was everything I hoped for, cozy couches, comfortable bed, modern appliances that all kept with the era of the cottage. It was peaceful, clean, tidy and spacious, having breakfast available was a great way to start the day. What more can I say, this place was amazing, we totally recommend this place and would stay again. We attended a wedding nearby then stayed an extra night to explore the surrounding area.
−I was slightly disappointed I didn't see any farm animals in the paddock beside the cottage 😆

“Stunningly restored cottage and a must visit!”
+We choose this spot as my brother lives 15 minutes away and it made the location for us perfect from the 'daily commute' we had to go and visit. The cottage is stand alone from the main house with ample parking and truly spacious inside. The kitchen had everything we could want from a home away from home kitchen. Eggs, bacon, milk and sourdough bread provided for a 'cook yourself' breakfast, excellent. BEST of all, the bed! Its rare in accommodation to find a bed which has not turned into a 'hammock' over the years of use. This is not the case here, the bed is awesome, aiding in a wonderful nights sleep. Hosts are there if you need them otherwise they get on with life as we did.
−If you were planning on re-heating food you would need to use the oven, no microwave. While not a negative just something to be aware of.
